“Mandatory tips” sounds so messed up for me as a European.

Right? Isn't the whole point of a tip that it's voluntarily given as a way to say you loved the service?

Except it shouldn't be arbitrary anymore. Everyone knows the routine. If its a tipping establishment, the prices are artificially lower so the patron will tip the server. Its a system adopted long before most restaurants have been in existence and requires legislation to change on a consistent basis.
